Dear Sir-You are authorized to bind ME for a
suitable subscription, say at least large as any
on the list which you showed me this morning
but cannot conceive of one TO be placed in Mar

lofty aud far more expensive than any which L

thoroughly believe that the prompters OF the

been pledged on condition that Old City
Hall be allowed to stand, and that either one
OF three places be selected as the site of the
monument and that $500 additional is sub

who have been called upon (but very few de-
Ginning to give, and they for good reasons,)
II Is believed. that two or three times the
above amount could be raised If all should

sons have icheerfully said they would in

The originals OF the above will be
turned over to the Soldiers Monument As

above pledges will be faithfully redeemed
whenever the conditions are assured.
Will not those most intimately interested
in the erection Of an appropriate monument
to our noble and patriotic soldiers, one
worthy to stand through coming ages, heed
well the above offer before condemning to
destruction so much valuable property as the
removal of Old City Hall will involve

bune: James Depe@, assistant foreman,
and Thomas and Joseph Jacobs, track re-
pairmen, we're carrying Old cross-ties from
the main line across the stone quarry sid
ing. The employees of the quarry had gone
to the upper end Of the steep grade TO al
low cars to rEn down the incline and INTO
the lower quarry, and in order to force the
cars up the grade they are allowed to cone
down at a terrific rate of speed. The men
were notified OF the action of the quarry
for the cars. When the three men men,
toned above were crossing the siding with
tie, the cars came bounding down the
quarry track and struck the tie, throwing
Thomas Jacobs and James Depew under
the wheels and knocked Joseph Jacobs
down alongside the track. Thomas Jacobs
vas horribly mangIed, his head crashed,
one foot cut off and body mutiia;ed n a
frightiul manner. Death wss instantaneous.

patcked to the scene of the accident, and

when the remains of Jacobs was taken IN
charge BY Undertaken Snyder and prepared
for burial, and Depew conveyed to the Com
pany's hospital room in the Patterson House
where he received necessary surgical atten-
tion by the attending physicians. His left
leg was amputated about six inches above

led condition of the patieat, the dressing
of the other limb was deferred until Wed =
